No root yet?

And if you wanna get rid of that used set, you know who to call...

How's the battery life on this set? and I take it that we do have the option to turn off the GPS like any other Android device.

All in good hands then. BTW if bahathir needs another Linux hacker on the team, I noticed a potential candidate who just joined LDC.

No prob. I'll contact him and see if he's interested. Then we'll drag him to the hellgate.
Eh? I thought you sought Paul O'MoDaCo on the bootloader thingy?

Isnt the A50 limited to US market? I believe it's running Donut, so I dont get how come a Donut device replace an Eclair one.

Running Donut?
So, this Donut machine is replacing an Eclair machine. Or are both phones being targeted to different market segments?

Here's a gsmarena comparison between the phones:-

I really dont get how A50 is replacing the A10. For one, the A50 was announced much earlier than the A10. Logic dictates that the earlier announced model would normally be replaced by the later one, but what do I know. Sometimes software downgrades do happen for the best (e.g when people were ditching the crappy Windows Vista for the much more stable XP) but replacing Eclair for Donut? Really, ASUS? And according to the specs from GSMArena, the A50 has an inferior camera (3.5MP) compared to the A10 (5MP). Again, this replacement philosophy defies logic. So now, we get less MP in the camera, a downgraded OS and yet we have to pay more? OK, sounds reasonable. BTW, if any of you guys wanna help out a Nigerian friend of mine in transferring obscene amount of money from his war-torn country, just drop me a PM.

What's really the problem behind the A10 that it needed to be replaced with the A50? Lack of raw materials?

I hate to say this, but I think you've been ripped-off.
